<p>I don’t remember whether he applied to visit Carleton or not, but I remember he had offers from Carleton and Grinnell for the same weekend, and he chose to visit Grinnell. He ultimately was accepted at both. He had previously visited Carleton in the summer before senior year, so that may have made a difference. Also, he made sure to attend local events. Showed Carleton plenty of love.</p>
<p>I do remember that year there was a student poster who was able to get a school to fly her out on a different weekend. It might be a little late in the game to make that happen for you, but you could try. </p>
<p>And just as an anecdote, ds was offered another all-expense-paid trip to a university. He went, loved it and they WL’d him!</p>
